File a takedown notice

Complete the form below to submit a DMCA takedown request. We aim to review valid notices and respond within 24–48 hours. Prefer email? Send the same details to [email protected].

Before you file: a DMCA notice is a sworn legal statement. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), knowingly filing a false or bad-faith claim can make you liable for damages, court costs, and attorneys' fees. Only submit if you own the work, or are authorized to act for the owner, and the use is genuinely unauthorized.

What is the DMCA?

Online, individuals store and transmit their content through the networks of third parties — hosting providers, internet service providers, and platforms all act as intermediaries for material posted by their users. Section 512 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) sets out how those online service providers respond to alleged copyright infringement, and it protects a provider from liability for material posted by its users when the provider acts promptly to remove or disable access to content identified in a valid complaint from a copyright holder.

SignalBots operates this policy so that copyright owners have a clear, reliable way to report material they believe is infringing, and so that anyone affected by a removal has a way to respond.

How we handle notices & safe harbor

To remain within the DMCA's "safe harbor," a service provider that hosts content is expected to:

• Have no actual knowledge of, and derive no direct financial benefit from, infringing activity on its network.
• Maintain a copyright policy and make it available to its users — this page is that policy.
• Provide a way to receive and act on copyright complaints, and respond to valid notices promptly.

When we receive a complete and valid notice, we review it, remove or disable access to the identified material where appropriate, and make a reasonable effort to notify whoever posted it — with a copy of your notice — so they can respond. Removing material in response to a notice is not an admission of liability, nor a judgment on the merits of the underlying dispute.

Content on SignalBots

Most of the content across SignalBots — articles, images, signals, and tools — is created by us or licensed for our use. Some areas may host material contributed by users or drawn from third parties, and because we cannot verify who owns every item in advance, this reporting process is the correct way to bring an infringement to our attention. If you are the rightful owner of a work that appears here without your permission, submit a notice with evidence of your authorship (for example, a link to the original publication) and we will act on it.

What a takedown notice must include

For a notice to be effective, it must be a written communication that contains substantially all of the following. Missing information may delay our response or make the notice invalid:

• A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner, or of a person authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
• Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed — or a representative list, if one notice covers multiple works.
• The specific URL(s) of the material you want removed, or a description precise enough for us to locate it.
• Your contact details: full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
• A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are the owner or are authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
• Where possible, evidence of ownership — such as a link to the original work or its source page.

Counter-notification

The DMCA also lets a person object when their material is removed. If your content was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification. To be effective, it must include your signature; identification of the material and the location where it appeared before removal; a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the removal was a mistake; and your name, mailing address, and telephone number, together with your consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate court and to accept service of process from the party who filed the original notice.

If we receive a valid counter-notification, we may restore the material after the waiting period defined by the DMCA, unless the original complainant notifies us that they have filed a court action seeking to keep it offline.

Repeat infringers

In appropriate circumstances and at our discretion, we will disable or terminate the accounts of users who are found to infringe the copyrights of others repeatedly, and we may take any other steps we consider reasonable to comply with applicable law.

Misrepresentations & false claims

Filing a copyright complaint is a serious legal action. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material is infringing — or that it was removed or disabled by mistake — may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees. Before you submit a notice or counter-notice, make sure your claim is accurate and that you have the right to make it. If you are unsure whether the material is protected by copyright or covered by an exception such as fair use, consider seeking legal advice first. We may update this policy from time to time; the effective date above changes whenever it does.
